Research direction

Start with libs/openFrameworks/app/ofAppGLFWWindow.cpp at the referenced lines, then review the linked forum post and issue #2850 for the reason behind the delay. Determine whether the workaround is still needed and verify that disabling automatic background clearing no longer causes the reported three-frame delay.
